Answer:

Distance = 30 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed = 1.5 m/s

Time = 20 seconds

To find the distance travelled;

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

[tex]Speed = \frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

Making distance the subject of formula, we have;

[tex] Distance = speed * time [/tex]

Substituting into the above formula, we have;

[tex] Distance = 1.5 * 20 [/tex]

Distance = 30 meters
